Cravings Restaurant - Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam

By far, the one and only decent watering hole in Kota Kemuning, Cravings is still standing tall after all these years. A pleasant-comfortable ambiance, Cravings is also akin spot-on for dining with friends, family or whoever you want. Even your secret admirers, nobody should stop you though. For us, Cravings has been the biggest major discovery when we slowly started exploring Kota Kemuning. Akin a bright star in a boring still upcoming area, consequently, we couldn't be more joyful for dining, as well as boozy nights in Cravings. Countless times I think. That's why we have bumped into the previous couple "Lady-Owners". Muhibbah couple. If you know what I am hinting at, catch it if you can or figure out or find out from Kota Kemuning pioneers like us. Much have changed since then, change of owners, albeit I can't tell you how many, obviously too a tiny bit of changes in the ambiance, albeit nothing prominent and Cravings still situated in a spacious corner lot.

We however, over the many donkey years, have cut down on frequenting Cravings. Not because we are anti-cravings, but because of the coffee shops which have sprouted for offering cheaper choices. Additionally, I especially have massively cut down on booze. This trip to Cravings came about due to listening friendship purpose towards the friend who is like dashing to hell with her sets of problems. Then again, we too sometimes can be hit bashed by endless problems? Me as well, I admit. Anyhow, we stepped foot in Cravings for an early dinner, of course alcohol means its easier to spill all of the frustrating beans without no holds barred. To kick start, we sipped into the German Beer, thereafter, from the tattered menu, really, tattered, have a look and you will definitely agree its about time menu is upgraded, to at least a basic Iphone. Pink tape or whatever, maybe pink stabilo, or only god knows how they did it, pink striking aside some of the items.

We managed, regardless of the sad case menu and regardless we have already sipped into half a glass of beer. We ordered. We awaited for "Spaghetti Aglio-Olio" and "Grilled Pepper Chicken".

Tender, charred on the outside and soft bite inside grilled pepper chicken, served with darkest brown sauce, fries and coleslaw, Grilled Pepper Chicken similarly was an appreciated complete meal. I wholeheartedly accepted it, chicken especially, but the sauce was quite a "namby-pamby". Didn't go down well for me, not for dipping or lathering on the chicken. So, logically, my wise choice was asking for chilli sauce which did a major justice. Coleslaw too kept me happy.

By the next 20 minutes or so, food was cleared, washed down with the balance of the beer. Coaxing my friend for another bottle, sadly didn't echo on "one for the road". How sad for me, myself and I, just when I am slowly being lifted to tipsy paradise. Having said that, I could understand my friend's concern on driving back to Klang before the clock strikes 12. So, bill settled, we hopped into our car, park right in-front Cravings and off we left.
